The problem with wiring money is that it's oftentimes very cumbersome and difficult to do without involving all sorts of different parties. For instance, where I am from, most wire transfers get audited by the tax service and our local banks will often freeze funds until you can prove the source of the money and what it's for.
Here in Japan it's not so bad but when you get audited they generally have a list of all your inbound international wires and ask you to prove that the money is not taxable... otherwise you can get fined heavily.
It's a sad state of affairs when free people are not allowed to move their money as they see fit without explanations and justifications. It's yet another proof that fiat is not really your money and that it needs to go. Can't wait till Bitcoin becomes more ubiquitous.
